Well, here we are once again, about to start another year and a new decade. We can only wonder what the future holds for all us ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia sufferers. With so many studies going on, I wonder how far we will get in the next decade to better understand both conditions.
The Christmas Lunch at Mabie House Hotel was well attended. The meal and the surroundings were greatly appreciated by all and added that bit of extra xmas cheer.
